Old Joe Crow’s Story

Once upon a time, a whole family of crows lived in the tallest oak tree on the west coast. On the highest branch of this oak, the crows made a nest in the shape of a throne. To decide which crow would sit on the throne, the crows took a vote. It was agreed that the crow who soared the highest would own the throne until a higher flying crow took its place. 

The first crow to win the throne was a bold young show-off named Joe. From his throne in the oak, Joe would boast of how he could float above the trees on the slightest breeze and roam from coast to coast with just a flap of his wings. Joe was so bold that he thought he would never grow old and have to give up the throne. But like all living things, Joe did grow old.

It was a cold snowy morning when Joe first looked up from his throne and noticed younger crows soaring higher than he had ever flown. Knowing that time had taken its toll on even this bold crow, Joe left his throne and coasted slowly down to his new home on the lowest branch of the old oak tree. 

At first Joe was sad to lose his home on the throne, but he refused to give up exploring and he still wanted to be the best crow at something. When he noticed a tiny row boat in the river under the old oak tree, Joe got an idea. 

Every night Joe practiced rowing that boat until he could row almost as fast as he used to soar. Then one day the other crows were surprised when they heard someone crowing, “Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream …” When the crows looked down, there was Old Joe Crow rowing his boat and crowing his song. Now Old Joe Crow is the only crow who knows how to row, and each day Joe rows his boat and sings his song while the younger crows soar overhead.
